The issue with a Floyd rose nut is that you have to have two strings unlocked at a time which makes it tricky to hold the tension needed for stringing a headless. Also, the FR bridge's fine tuners don't have enough range to make it easy to bring up or down to the correct pitch. It could work but...

Also it's easier to run the cable around the strap, which is usually on the upper horn, if the jack is near there. Otherwise you create a rudimentary archery bow.

Put a bridge on on and measure from the low e or g string saddles

There are a few body comparisons I'd like to see: 2 same wood, same weight. 2 same wood but different weight. 2 or more different wood but same weight 2 same wood, same weight but different body shape. Also get an HSH rear routed Strat and try various pickup configurations to see how the...

Warwick basses use wenge necks and fretboards, don't they? Maybe look out for pics on the web of old ones or see if any local stores have one second hand.

The position might vary due to the type of bridge used, but in some cases it might be deliberate - for example, the Steinberger GM-1 and GM-5 moved the bridge pickup slightly closer to the nut.

AFAIK Wilkinson don't make their own products, manufacturing is outsourced. Gotoh is one of the companies they use. The VS100 is available as a Japanese Gotoh made unit and also a Korean (?) one which is a lot cheaper.

I thought it was Steve Blucher that made the pickups, Larry D just started the company and likes to take photos.

Happy birthday to the most versatile guitarist I know of  :yourock:

I've watched a lot of wood turning videos on youtube and they often just apply a coat of wax, even for cups and mugs which will presumably get a fair amount of abuse. So I've wondered if these kind of waxes would work on guitars.

To be fair he's using an ambient delay. He may well be doing a pull off but the delay will let the notes to blend together.

I'm really curious to try a 59 profile with a narrower nut, either 1 5/8" or 1.650
